Jeffs, who last month was voted Little East Conference Rookie of
the Year and Co-Pitcher of the Year, completed a sensational
freshman campaign. She led the nation in Division III with 360
total strikeouts (and only 12 walks in 215 innings) and ranked
second with 11.7 strikeouts per seven innings. She also finished in
the top 10 nationally with 21 victories and a 0.68 earned run
average.

Jeffs re-wrote the Panther record book, setting 10 new PSC
standards, including wins, ERA, shutouts (14), and strikeouts in a
game (20), season and career. The 20 strikeouts against Fitchburg
State on April 10th matched the NCAA Division III single-game
record, and the only Division III pitcher in history to strike out
more batters in a season than Jeffs is Kelly Schade of Simpson
College, who fanned 371 as a senior in 1999.

Sheridan, who was the Little East Conference Offensive Player of
the Year and the Most Outstanding Player in the LEC Tournament,
enjoyed a terrific season for the Panthers. She led the team in
just about every category, including goals (67), assists (20),
points (87), shots (129), ground balls (75) and draw controls (62).

Sheridan, who is already fourth on PSC's career scoring list
(107 goals, 37 assists, 144 points), had one of the top two
single-season offensive performances in school history, along with
Terry Galley, who recorded 70 goals and 82 points in 1985. Sheridan
is one of only two selections on the 32-member 2002 New England
Regional All-America Team that is not from the New England Small
College Athletic Conference.

The honors capped outstanding, record-breaking spring seasons
for both the PSC softball and women's lacrosse teams. The Panther
softballers, led by second-year head coach Harry Blood, finished
24-13-2 overall, setting a PSC record for wins in a season, and
earned their first post-season berth in eight years. The women's
lacrosse squad, guided by second-year head coach Wynne Lobel,
captured the inaugural Little East Conference championship, earned
its third straight post-season berth, and matched the school record
for wins in a season by posting a 15-3 mark.
